| Behind the Beautiful Forevers should be required reading for every American who is clueless about how hard life is for people in so much of the world. Katherine Boo spent three years in Annawadi, a makeshift slum of ragged huts on a garbage dump adja ...more | |

| It's not hard to see why Trust Exercise provoked such polar opposite reactions. It's a story (or stories) about the fraught goings-on at an elite 1980s high school for the arts, which include betrayals of trust of all kinds, including, it is suggeste ...more | |
